...will not leave Cambridge with the impression that his efforts have met with poor appreciation. The professors who come to us from Germany offer subjects which, under our elective system, are of interest to a limited number of men, and their reward must come from the realization of the fact that their influence will not die with the men who have been closely associated with them...

Yet rain seems to be the only excuse for the fact that the number of track candidates who reported yesterday for work held almost entirely indoors, was about one-third of the number who appeared for the first day's practice last winter. We do not believe that the track situation is in as serious a condition as these figures would indicate, and we hope that the next...
